Middle Grade Camp Twisted Pine by Ciera Burch Eleven-year-old Naomi loves all things outdoors—birds and beetles, bats and bunnies—in theory. She explores nature in the best possible way: the cold, hard facts in books.

Dear writers, you've got this. Whether you have yet to publish, or have a blacklist of 100. I know there are days where you struggle. Maybe that struggle is to write, to fight with your formatting program (looking at you Atticus), getting out of bed, or you're out of coffee. Keep going.

I probably should mention that half of my mm romance novel takes place over the Christmas season!
If you love bad dad jokes, steamy romance, and emotional rollercoasters, then this book is for you!

Yes, all of this. Many of us are also geographically located in countries where this is our only viable option to publish. Your support means the world. ❤️
Please don't forget indie authors this holiday season. Many can't afford to sell their books through anything BUT Amazon. Check to see if an indie author is selling their books via independent stores, but you're not a bad person for supporting an indie through Amazon or Kindle Unlimited, thank you.
Books.
When buying books for gifts this holiday season, please don't buy from Amazon. Please shop at your local independent bookstore/bookseller. Ask for recommendations. If they don't have a particular book in stock, ask them to order it.
Support creatives, local businesses, and your community.

As you may or may not know, Canada Post is currently (and rightly) on strike, hurting small Canadian creatives & businesses - especially with Black Friday/Cyber Monday nipping at our heels.
Fellow Canadians: If you sell digital anything (books, art, surprise me!) drop your links and I'll share!

If you're a "book promoter" who messages me or replies to posts with "I'm interested in your book and would like to discuss opportunities." Just. Don't. Fuck off with that nonsense. You don't know me and you haven't even looked at the cover of my book. Stop wasting our time. I will just block you.

May your Monday be the best it can be.
May your coffee be strong, your pen mighty, and the words flow out of you.
May your cats be warm and cuddly and their food bowl be full.
May you... oh shit. Look at the time. Don't forget your ADHD meds!
